Description

Under an EU Tacis-funded contract, Christopher Morgan led a team that advised the Government of Armenia on rewriting its mining law, environmental law and supporting regulations. The team also made recommendations for institutional strengthening and drew up concession and fiscal stability agreements in order to streamline the sector and attract inward investment.

The exercise was highly successful and as the first Former Soviet Union country to adopt a largely Western-style mining code, Armenia was awarded the prestigious Mining Journal Mining Country of the Year Award in 2003.
